~Chapter VI~

Katrina couldn't understand. She looked to her friends list and scrolled through it. Swish's name was at the bottom and the words 'offline' adjacent to it.

Jagex mods could tell if someone was online even if their chat was turned off. If Swish had just died ingame that would mean he'd have to had been online.

Died...

Unbeknownst to Katrina, Siegfried had entered the bank and stood in front of the booth, making it out that he was just doing something with his bank. In truth, Siegfried had started a voice conference with Katrina and moved his microphone so that he wasn't heard.

Katrina had left her 'chat' setting to on when she had been talking to the crowd.

Siegfried typed a message to A.

"I've located a Jmod in this world, Varrock. She's acting rather suspicious..."

"In what way?" A typed back.

"She's acting paranoid, not wanting anyone else around her. But now I'm standing right next to her and-"

"Paul!" Siegfried heard on his radio from Katrina.

"Hold on." Siegfried typed to A and continued listening.

"Do we have any contact with Swish321? He appeared offline to me but I've found his gravestone ingame..."

"Siegfried, what's going on?" A asked through text.

"I'm in her voice chat, she left it on and is talking to Mod Paul."

"Hold up..." A said. He said nothing for a brief moment and then "Did you install that software I asked you too?"

"Yes."

"Open it and select 'enable listen'."

Siegfried proceeded to open the application and followed A'* instructions.

"Ok, I can hear now." A said finally after a couple of seconds. The software Siegfried had installed now allowed A to hear everything said over his headset when he wasn't involved.

"Paul!?" Katrina roared, only this time Paul responded, his voice soft due to his distance from Katrina's microphone.

"It...He..." Paul stammered. "We had his phone number and apparently he was online...But..."

He gulped, so did Katrina. Siegfried and A listened intently.

"He's dead."

Katrina's eyes widened in fear. Siegfried gasped in shock as to what he was hearing. A remained silent.

"B-but...How...?" Katrina struggled to get the words out. "H-how did he...Avoid being seen by me...?"

"Siegfried," A messaged. "There's no more need to search, just continue to listen."

Siegfried nodded to no one in particular and listened as Paul and Katrina continued to speak.

"What happened?" Paul asked Katrina.

"I was at the bank waiting for him, only he wasn't there. Instead there was a grave and a pile of loot..."

With that, A immediately teleported to Lumbridge.

"Was there anyone else there?"

"Come to think of it, yes. Before I got into the bank someone was there and teleported..."

"Did you see them?"

"No."

"Is there anyone around now?"

"One person. Hold on, I'll just see if they know anything..."

Siegfried froze. If Katrina noticed that he was listening in on her conversation he would be instantly suspected. He had no runes on him so he couldn't teleport. Even if he did, he'd only look more suspicious.

Logging out with severe the connection between him and Katrina and he wouldn't be able to listen. An idea sparked as he thought of that.

He disconnected between himself and Katrina, then connected with A.

"Count to five, then enter Mod Katrina's voice chat." He spoke urgently.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

A joined the chat.

Only to find it set to friends only.

******************************************************************************

"So...Little Johnny WAS the one there...How delightfully convenient for me..." Adrian muttered to himself. John Swishez, classmate of Adrian and big time bully to him had died no more than twelve minutes ago while standing in the Varrock East Bank waiting for a moderator to come and talk to him about yesterday's events.

John had of course been a blabbermouth about it and told everyone at school. He even invited some people to come and watch him talk to a Jmod.

Adrian had overheard.

Now John was dead.

Adrian laughed to himself, as he had found himself doing quite a lot recently. Nobody got home until late at his house, so he had the whole afternoon free. Adrian was also rather imfamous for skipping school and had access to Runescape through internet cafes.

Adrian had a list of people names under his computer. In total, there were fourty eight names.

All of them bullies at Adrian's school.

Adrian took out a red pen and crossed off John's name.

"One down..." Adrian chuckled. "...Fourty seven to go..."

There was a sinister chuckling from behind Adrian. Alarmed, Adrian spun around in his seat and looked behind him.

There was nothing there.

The voice laughed again.

"Who's there?!" Adrian yelled, evidently unnerved by the mysterious laughter.

"Revenge..." The voice croaked. It sounded like something out of a nightmare. The voice was rough and scratchy, hideously deep and flat. A horrifying monster and yet Adrian could see nothing.

"Revenge...Is so...Satisfying..." It groaned, sounding as if it was in terrible pain.

"W-where are y-you....!?" Adrian gasped, now absolutely terrified.

"I grant one wish..." It responded, ignoring Adrian's questions completely. "...As the most frequent user...I will give you anything...You want...So long as it...Enhances the glitch in...Some way..."

It paused repeatedly during it's sentences, it's awful groans seeming strained to get out.

"W-what do you mean...?" Adrian asked, not as fear filled as before.

"You may...Change the glitch...To your liking..."

Adrian composed himself, now calm. He thought for a moment, wondering what he could do with the glitch. At the moment he couldn't see any flaws with it.

"Can I change, say...The WAY people die?" Adrian decided at last, an evil smile working it's way up his face.

The voice chuckled. "Of course..."

"Then I'd like to be able to kill people in any way I wish. I want to think of how they die and once they die on Runescape they'll die how I imagined."

"Wish granted..." The awful voice groaned.

Suddenly Adrian's room grew dark, yet the sky outside remained bright. A fierce wind whipped up and began to desicrate Adrian's room, sending all his possessions flying. The voice moaned horribly and Adrian's window flew open.

Then it stopped and all was quiet.

Adrian looked back to the computer screen and his character standing in Lumbridge. Draped in his meele attire, Adrian looked much different to the day before. However, he decided to kill John in order to erase any chance that he may be caught.

And to settle the score, of course.

Adrian let fly a laugh of pure evil, staring at all the people in Lumbridge.

Soon, all who opposed him would die.

Adrian filed out of Lumbridge and checked the next name on his list; another school bully, account name: Blorfer421. He added them to his friends list and noticed that they were in another world; a free to play server.

They wouldn't be too hard to find.

As Adrian went to click the logout button, he noticed that there seemed to be a certain person in the crowd at Lumbridge who sort of stuck out. Adrian didn't know how, but it seemed like they were watching him.

Adrian clicked logout and left the person in white behind without a second thought.
